How it works

This tool reads your PDF with the pdf-lib library and copies only the pages you ask for into a brand-new document. You describe the pages you want to keep as a simple range — for example 1-3, 5, 8-10 — and the tool assembles exactly those pages, in that order, into a fresh file you can download. Nothing is sent anywhere: the split happens entirely in your browser, so even confidential documents stay on your machine.

Writing a page range

Ranges are flexible. Use a dash for a continuous block of pages, and commas to combine several blocks or individual pages. 2-4 keeps pages two, three and four; 1, 5, 9 keeps three separate pages; and 1-2, 10-12 keeps the first two pages and the last three. If you leave the field empty, the tool simply copies the whole document. When you drop a file, its total page count is shown so you know the valid range, and any page number outside it is flagged before anything is generated.

Typical uses

Splitting is useful when you only need a few pages of a long report, when separating an invoice from a bundled statement, or when removing confidential appendices before sharing. Because the extracted pages are copied as-is, their text, images and formatting are preserved exactly — this is not a re-render, just a faithful copy of the pages you selected.

Frequently asked questions

Can I split one PDF into many separate files at once?

This tool produces one new file per run. To create several files, run it once for each range you need — it takes only a moment each time.

Does the extracted PDF keep its quality?

Yes. Pages are copied without any re-compression, so text stays selectable and images keep their original resolution.

What if my PDF is password-protected?

You'll need to remove the password first in your PDF reader, then split the unlocked copy here.
